The four comments featured in the story unanimously mention Michigan's defense, with one coach singling out freshman guard Nik Stauskas and junior wing Tim Hardaway Jr. as poor players on that end of the floor.

"Defense," the coach said. "Go at Stauskas and put him in the mix, so the other guys have to help. I don't think Hardaway is a good defender, either. They don't defend screens very well. You can break them down."

The other coaches followed suit.

"Down low on the defensive end. You need a low-post scorer and that's an area you can exploit. Throw it inside and play Bully Ball. Make it a slugfest."

“They're not a very deep team. And if you take away their wide-open shots, and make them execute, that's when they'll struggle.”

“I wonder if for long stretches, they can blue collar it up defensively. I don't know if toughness is the right word. You know you're gonna be able to score, but they need that mentality on both ends of the floor. If they give it up defensively like they do offensively, they're gonna be a bitch.”

Some of the criticisms are a little puzzling -- Michigan isn't a deep team, with a 10-man rotation? -- but the rest is interesting stuff coming from a coach's perspective of the nation's No. 1 team.
